The line 10 (span. Línea 10 , shortly L-10) is a metro -line of the Metro Madrid . It leads from Hospital Infanta Sofía (until August 2008: Hospital del Norte ) via Fuencarral to Puerta del Sur , is 36.5 kilometers long and has 31 stations. The average station distance is 1.217 kilometers. The route between Lago and Casa de Campo runs on the surface, otherwise it is completely underground. The L-10 is part of the metro's large profile network and the length of the stations is 115 meters. You can change to other metro lines at ten stations and to the Cercanías suburban railway at four .
history
In December 1951, the Ministry of Public Works published a General Transport Plan for Madrid. For the first time ever, the construction of above-ground routes was proceeding. These new “suburbanos” (dt. “Suburban lines”) should have a significantly higher station spacing and largely operate on the surface. But it wasn't until more than nine years later, on February 6, 1961 , that the section between Plaza de España and Carabanchel was opened. The line belonged to the state company Ferrocarril Suburbano de Carabanchel ("Carabanchel suburban railway") until 1979 , but the Metro was in charge of operations from the start.
In 1970 the narrow-gauge railway to Móstoles was closed and replaced by a railway line in Spanish broad-gauge until 1976 . Since then, the railway has also served Aluche, among others . To improve the transfer connections who took L-5 on 29. October 1976 the section Carabanchel - Aluche from the line S. By the 18th December 1981 opened section between the Plaza de España and Alonso Martínez line S pushed further into the city center in front.
The northern part of today's L-10 was initially created completely independently of the S. On June 10, 1982, three days before the start of the 1982 World Cup, the Fuencarral - Nuevos Ministerios line was opened , which was named L-8. The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and Chamartín Central Station , which was connected to the metro network for the first time, are located on this route .
Although the L-8 was extended by 1.4 km from Nuevos Ministerios to Avenida de América on December 23, 1986 , the popularity of the passengers remained rather low. The last section was only designed as a single track, which is why the L-8 could not be operationally connected to the L-7 . In addition, the L-8 did not penetrate into the city center. In order to improve the attractiveness of both the L-8 and the S line, the expansion plan adopted in 1994 provided for the two lines, whose endpoints were only 2.1 km away from each other, to be linked.
But first the tunnel section between Lago and Plaza de España had to be replaced by a new building in order to swivel the line to the Príncipe Pío traffic junction . This work was completed on December 26, 1996. With the new line Nuevos Ministerios - Alonso Martínez the L-8 and the "Suburbano" were connected to the new diameter line L-10. The single-track tunnel in the direction of Avenida de América has been used by the L-7 since then.
Small- profile trains were initially used on the new continuous line, because in 2000 and 2001 the tunnel between Plaza de España and Alonso Martínez first had to be adapted to accommodate the wider large-profile trains. On October 22, 2002, the L-10 was extended in the direction of Colonia Jardín , at the same time the section between the newly opened transfer station Casa de Campo and Aluche was transferred to the L-5. Since April 11, 2003, the L-10 has crossed the city limits and runs to the Puerta del Sur station in Alcorcón .
Since December 22, 2006, the trains have also stopped at the new Aviación Española station , which was built between Colonia Jardín and Cuatro Vientos on the existing line.
From the previous northern endpoint of Fuencarral , the L-10 was extended by 15.7 kilometers to the northern suburb of San Sebastián de los Reyes by 2007 . This section of the route has been in operation since April 26, 2007. Tres Olivos on the city limits will serve as a temporary transfer station to line 10B for the first few years. Shorter trains run on this line with a longer interval until the increased demand justifies continuous operation.
The Colonia Jardín station was expanded by 2007 . When it opened on July 27, 2007, it is the terminus of lines ML-2 and ML-3 of the Ligero Madrid light rail system . These partly underground routes lead to Aravaca and Boadilla del Monte . Las Tablas on the northern extension is the terminus of the ML-1 line.
